Get Started with Drupal - The Right Way!

dougvann's picture

I've been hitting a lot of camps this year doing pretty much the same beginners training. The title changes a little, but "Get Started with Drupal - The Right Way!" seems to be the winner.
You can check out the node from the DrupalCamp Ohio site for the details at http://drupalcampohio.org/sessions/get-started-drupal-right-way

If the Drupal for beginners space is too congested, I'd be happy to do an intro to PHP.

Thoughts?

I also have a Intermediate class that is really Views and Panels. I taught it this year at nice camp:

We're going to model the

We're going to model the training on training day at the 2014 New Jersey Drupal Camp. At the camp they charged $75 for a class with a up to $200 in traveling expenses as well as an in-kind Silver sponsorship going to the trainer. The classes in New Jersey sold out.

I propose that we charge $50 for training and pay trainer $200. Please chime in with your opinions on this.

If your interested in being a training please send a description of your class to me so I can start getting the classes posted. I'd like to get the details sorted out by Friday so we can post the Saturday schedule then.

Course descriptions

I've only received one course description. Please send me a simple description of your course so we can get these posted. Here is Ted's to give you an idea of what's needed...

Intro to Drupal Module Development

This course will get you started in Drupal Module Development. Whether you want to learn module development for your own projects or to advance your career as a developer, this course is for you.
Although Drupal can be used as a powerful tool to make websites without writing any code learning to code for Drupal greatly expands what Drupal can do for you.
Who is this course for?:

PHP developers or other programmers who want to add Drupal development to their skillset
Drupal Site Builders who want to learn custom module development

What will you learn?:

Creating the Module files and where to put them
Drupal's Hook System and how to use it
Creating Menu Entries and making Permissions
Making, Altering and Responding to Drupal Forms
Creating your own Blocks
Writing Custom code in your module that integrates with Drupal core and other modules(Without Hacking!)
When to write code and when NOT to write code!

Prerequisites:

You should some knowledge of PHP or another programming language.

Training logistics

schiavone's picture

If there is no objections we will charge $50 for each class with $200 going to the instructor. Attendees will need a computer with a dev environment already installed or Acquia dev desktop installed. I think we can provide assistance with the later for people who show up early.

For classes to be viable we'll need at least 4 people to sign up to cover the instructor.

Feedback welcome.

Saturday (2nd day only) has been canceled.

Hey folks,
I think you got my emails, but due to a strain on resources the organizers decided to eliminate the second day and focus on the first day.
However, we want to include a track geared towards beginners and business users so please feel free to submit sessions aimed at these types of users (as well as experienced Drupal users of course). You would be free to mention your paid training course during the session. I'm sorry for the change, but I'm still hoping to see you at the camp.
